Torchlight 2 is a pretty good alternative to D3 though. Blizzard just knew about the extreme hype for Diablo and prized it like any other big new game, whereas it offers crappy replay value, as most know. Now, I wouldn't consider it worth buying tbh.

It is a Option cause it just went into Open Beta and there will not be anymore Character wipes.

I bought 2 copies at release, one for myself and one for my gf. IMO it is not worth the cardboard box it came in. My gf didn't even finish normal and I got to Inferno and realized it's the same shit all over again, good gear doesn't drop, I'm gonna have to farm hours and hours on end just to make gold to get decent gear. Looked up the prices for a couple decent pieces, farmed the gold, only to find the prices had doubled by the time I got the gold.

I've heard some of the more recent changes make this not as much of an issue and also, it's been out a while, so inflation shouldn't be happening as rapidly, if at all anymore. However, you are still playing the same game 4 times in a row.

My point was that D3's gameplay is fair away from being ahead of anything. Its really basic and many others are just as good if not better. even in the ways you stated like about how the character interacts with the world and all.

Really? TL2 has 0 feeling when I hit a mob... I can see the textures interacting but that's it... it's just pixels... with d3 I can almost feel the impact of the blows... not to mention it'a a lot more fast paced and visceral than TL2 ...

As I said many games are the same or better in gameplay then D3. That was my point D3's gameplay is fair from ahead of anything.

Everyone has there own Opinion that is fine and all but I'm sorry D3 is a far away from being ahead of anything at this moment.

Hold out for Path of Exiles man. It's everything D3 should have been and none of what it shouldn't. That said I think D3 is fun for what it is, and worth the purchase price (even though I got my copy for from the wow annual pass deal).

I remember seeing this thread on another website where some guy found D3 along with SC2, Batman: Arkham City, MW3, Battlefield 3, WoW chest and some other games for $9.99 each. It was at his local Toys R Us and he took a picture of the glass case they were in. He'd buy em and sell em to ppl on the thread, lol. Wish I saw it when it was happening. But yeah anyways, 60 bucks is NOT worth it at this point when you can surely find it locally for much cheaper.

2 tickets to see a 2 hour movie = $22 around here.
2 tickets to see a 2 hour 3D movie = $32

Going to a theme park for a day (8 hours) = roughly $50 a ticket (estimate from the last time I went)

D3 only costing $60 is perfectly acceptable in my opinion. Even if you only do a few play throughs. Unless you just totally hate the game, you're going to spend 30+ hours on it. That's $2 an hour for fun. And you can always come back later for patches with content.

Or if you compare it to 1hr of fun cost 1$ would you get 60$/60hrs worth. Good chance OP won't you can even finish D3 from Normal to Inferno within 60hrs.
